Only on Atkins...

[sher801]

I was just reading a post in a different thread and this woman said that she was in the nut rung...me still being in extended induction, and although I know what it means, I still thought this was funny.

Only if your on Atkins would anyone know what the heck a "nut rung" is.

If you want to add to this thread, feel free.

Each step on a ladder is called a rung......when you get to OWL in Phase 2 of Atkins, you will reach the "nut rung" on the carb ladder...........


Only on Atkins does ACE stand for something other than a playing card.

When you are in phase 2 of Atkins, the first week you get to go from 20 g of carbs to 25, by just increasing veggies or such. The next increase, as long as you are still losing weight, some call "The nut rung" where you increase another 5 g of carbs, to 30 g, and you can eat "nuts" as long as it equals 5 g of net carbs or less (like Macadamia nuts.)

ALL nuts are legal at and beyond the nut rung, in quantities having 5 or less net carbs per day. This includes peanuts, which are not true nuts, and not bull nuts, aka prairie oysters, which are legal on induction in unlimited amounts. LOL
